Swethland which was no sooner remooued then a thundring peale of Ordnance from the Castle and Towne was giuen and on the shore two bodies of Musketiers with a long and great Volley bad adiew to the body of that Martiall King An Elegie vpon the Death of the King of Sweden T Was late great Heroë e're wee could beleeue Thy death and therefore late e're we could grieve The Fates were pleas'd to respite Brittaines teare So long a time till she had gather'd feares Enow to vsher such a griefe till doubt And long disputes had vexed our Soules about The certaine truth because the silent skies The Aire or Earth in threatning prodigies Forgot to speake so great a Worthies fall And nature seem'd not sensible at all Of her deepe wound vncertaine rumors here In stead of Comets brought preparing feare To play his part e're sorrow came nor durst Fame bring thy Story certaine at the first Intelligence was growne so slow that wee Not as intelligence but Historie Are taught at last the Glorious Sweden's gone Iust as we know that Philips mighty Sonne That Cyrus Caesar and the rest are dead And now too stale the Sorrow seemes to shed A teare our eyes even as we write are dry It is thy Storie not thy Elegie That now is sought for and the wish of all To heare thy Triumphs not thy Funerall But oh what pen what eloquence should tell Thy deeds that never found a Paralell What towring Muse should reach so high a flight As thy Heroicke Story must invite A muse to take Where should we find a Straine Though from Elysium wee should call againe That Bard that honour'd Thetis warlike Boy Or him that famed the pious Prince of Troy Or that lamented youth whose stately straines Enobled once Pharsaliaes tragicke plaines And therefore be content in this as well To bee great Alexanders Paralell As in thy Actions and earely fall Thou wert to finde no Poets pen at all So much the greatnesse of his deeds did fright The Poets of his time no Muse could write Yet were thy acts more full of honour farre More Iust nor lesse successefull was thy warre What Muse alas dares sing thy first renowne Before thou left'st thy North to trample downe That high-swolne Austrian Empire as erst hee His Greece to crush the Persian Monarchie More weighty tasks remayn'd for thee at home Than him and stronger foes to overcome Before thy prowesse could secure thine owne And lay thy future fames foundation In stead of Athens of the Theban state And other Grecian Provinces whose fate Did exercise the youth of Philips Sonne Though there his Father had for him begun The foes that gave thee thy first triumphs were The warlike Dane and potent Polander The great Moscovian Monarch of so vast A territory by thy sword was chas'd And forc'd by yeelding vp a spacious land To purchase peace at thy victorious hand What would have crown'd another Heroës name Was but the entrance to Gustavus Fame And now the Fates esteem'd thee fit to bee The vindicator of great Germany Th' Imperiall bird that soar'd in proudest state Gorg'd with so many Princes fals of late Now all vnplum'd and torne is forc'd to feele The vengefull dint of thy victorious steele Not such true fame could Alexander boast When he subdu'd the gawdy Persian hoast Within those famous Strayts or after neere Arbella fam'd for that great slaughter there As thou of Lypsicks honoured field maist doe And Tilly's fall To passe with conquest through The well-arm'd German Empire then o'rerunne Th' effeminate Persians greater glory wonne But weigh the causes and proceedings well And then no more is hee thy paralell Whom wild Ambition onely did leade on To rob of freedome euery Nation Thou foughtst to set oppressed Princes free And to restore the German libertie Him euery Kingdome er'e he did appeare Like some great Plague like mankinds Foe did feare The many wronged Countries wish'd to see And by thy iust drawne Sword reveng'd to bee Wh●ch conquer'd to preserve the conquer'd Foe And not to ruine nor inthrall And now Great Alexander yeelds to thee in glorie And till some second Mars arise whose Storie May prove hereafter such as thine is now Vpon the top of Honours house doe thou VVithout a Rivall great GVSTAVVS dwell Enioy thy Fame without a Paralell The End
